The village council is about to con.
slider the question of public wells.
Good! If needed, to expedite mat
tiers, THE Sun will look up more sta
tistics on the subject. Now if some
of our most energetic merchants will
make it a matter of duty to investi-
gate the question of safe hitching
posts for the convenience of their
customers-the merchants, not the
posts customers-it will begin to look
like scratching off the moss.
DR.. J. W. Harris, the dentist, last
Monday received telegram from
his uncle, A. J. Harris, of Chicago,
Offering him a half interest in his
$4,000 yearly practice, and at once
boarded the eastbound train for Chi
cago TO see what arrangements could
be made. His many friends here will
be sorry to learn of his departure but
considering the inducement and the
fact that Chicago is his old home, he
could not do erwise.-Graceville
Transcript.
The public library board held a
meeting at Geo E. Darling's office
last Friday to consider the resigna-
ton of Judge G. L. Brown. Judge |
Brown resigned on account of pres /
sure of other duties. Geo. M. Gill
tinan was chosen to fill for the unex-
pired term the craftsmanship made
vacant. The first invoice of books
has been received and is waiting for |
the completion of work on the library !
room to be placed ON the shelves. 1t
will be the duty of the village coun-
Gil to appoint a new member of the
board.
Judge Brown was taken sick on
Wednesday and was obliged to adj
journ court. He was unable to pro-
coed with the business of the term,
and telegraphed Judge G. L. Brown,
of Morris, to come and finish up the
calendar. C. L. is the son of J. H.
Brown, judge of our court. Though
only a few months On the bench, he
presides with dignity and dispatches
business with rapidity. He fully
meets the predictions of his many
friends and admirers and bids fair to
surpass even the brilliant record of |
his father, who is acknowledged to
be one of the ablest district judges in
the state. c. L. is the youngest man
on the bench in the state, yet he
commands as much respect and con-
fidence as the oldest.-Benson Moni-
